Prepare yourself – Take time to think about your skills, qualifications and experience and what they could bring to the Company.

Prepare some questions to ask during the interview – restrict your questions to details of the job or Company. Salary and benefits are best left to the second interview or until a job offer has been made.

Dress code – be sure to ask your consultant about the appropriate dress code for the Company. For office work a smart well-groomed appearance is essential.

Ask at the interview what the next step will be – who will let you know if you are successful and when. If you are interested in the position be sure to express this to the Company before you leave.

We wish you every success with your interview – if you need more information regarding Interview Techniques contact Placing People for further details.

Top tips on C.V. preparation

This is your selling tool – think about your skills, experience and qualifications. Include your major achievements and transferable skills.

Look for key words in the job description and how your skills and experience match these words.

Your C.V. should be interesting – use bullet points rather than reams of text. Include a profile telling the Company something about you as a person.

Always start with your current position first and work backwards.

A C.V. should be a maximum two A4 sheets in length so think carefully and make sure every word is relevant.

Check your spelling and grammar

Provide a well-worded covering letter clearly defining the position you are applying for and what you can bring to the position.

Placing People provide a professional C.V. preparation service.
